NAS Backup and Recovery

Veeam Backup & Replication

Protect your NAS data from malware attacks

The world of network attached storage (NAS) has changed. Now the scalability achievable through production NAS devices by exposing file share (NFS) or server message block (SMB) protocols has reached new levels. As exponential growth of NAS continues, so does the need to protect unstructured data from malicious attacks which exploit vulnerabilities in your NAS devices.

Product Launch: VAS v10 - Demo Lightboard - Veeam Seriously Powerful NAS Backup

Powerful NAS backup protects unstructured, data-federated backup storage that’s driven by an easy-to-use, wizard-driven approach that’sstrong enough to process petabytes of data as fast as possible without the constraints of NDMP.

Flexible NAS recovery capabilities eliminate downtime and disruptions for users with instant read/write access to shares during recovery.Use granular recovery for unstructured object recovery requests that users commonly make.

Secure your backups from attack with immutable NAS backups that go directly to object storage or Veeam’s hardened repository. You can also air-gap your NAS backups with rotated drives or use our next-generation tape backup engine to send even the largest shares directly to tape.

HOW TO BUY

How Veeam NAS backup works

The data from source file shares transition to the targets through file proxies. File proxies are the muscles that enable the data flow; they’re scalable and software-defined with no requirements for new hardware or dedicated appliances in order to achieve scale.

The key differentiator is changed file tracking, which maintains the footprint of the source file share and is stored in something called a cache repository. This cache repository keeps track of all the objects that have changed between each backup, which results in ultra-fast backup processing.

Veeam NAS backup supports the same range of backup repositories as our image-based backups, including Scale-out Backup Repository™. This focus on unstructured data backup in the NAS engine ensures the ability to tier-off older file versions onto cheaper storage devices like deduplication devices or object storage. Taking advantage of this methodology provides users with the ability to keep short-term retention close to the production data set for days.

To meet regulation and retention demands, you can leverage public cloud storage for longer-term retention and archival. Veeam NAS backup can also store an offsite copy of your NAS data. This can be for a completely different retention period with a separate encryption key for added security. It can also be used as a disaster recovery (DR) option when it comes to recovering unstructured data.

Instant recovery for NAS shares

This is most useful when there’s a complete loss of your file share or a major outage, This capability enables instant read/write access for users even while a complete migration of the selected version of all files happens in the background.

Rollback to a point in time

Quick rollback gives you the ability to restore to the last-known good configuration. This means that any modified file since the last backup can be reverted. For example, in the event or a ransomware attack, this option would allow you roll back to the last good backup before the ransomware attack occurred.

Restore individual files and folders

This restore type provides you with the ability to restore individual files and folders either by overwriting the live system or keeping both copies. Easily choose specific restore points with additional visibility to see all available file versions, making the selection of versions you wish to recover a simple and flexible task.

How to buy NAS backup

You can modernize your NAS backup with Veeam Universal License (VUL).

Each universal license can be used to protect any workload, including VMs, servers, workstations, AWS, Azure or count towards the NAS capacity (up to 500 GB per license).

The VUL is portable and enables the data transfer from cloud, virtual and physical workloads, seamlessly. It also includes 24/7/365 support.

Veeam NAS backup Frequently Asked Questions

What is a NAS Backup solution?

NAS Backup is a solution designed to backup and to recover unstructured data files stored in a Network-Attached Storage or NAS. In other words, while NAS devices are ideal for storing data in external/physical drives, such drives may not have built-in backup and recovery capabilities.

What are the most typical examples of unstructured data files?

There are many different workloads for unstructured data, or the data that users create every day including documents, presentations, graphics, etc., as well as the massive amount of data that devices are creating every second in the Internet of Things.

Few common examples include:

Common user data from office applications (docs, spreadsheets, presentations, etc.)
Surveillance video from doorbells and law enforcement body cams
Medical records that include x-rays or other imaging files
Warehouse data including barcode images

What are the advantages of a NAS backup solution?

There are many types of NAS solutions that have many protocols and versions that are used to protect unstructured data. The most important advantage of a NAS backup solution is the ability to have access to the data remotely, from an off-site location, that can be used as a disaster recovery option when it comes to recovering your unstructured data.

Another advantage is the flexibility to protect not only server message block (SMB) and network files shares (NFS), but also Windows and Linux fileservers. The combined options reduce the time to backup any data and ensure a fast recovery of any NAS device.
